If you’re looking for a healthy and refreshing way to experience the island lifestyle of Oahu, we highly recommend taking a self-guided walking tour from Sunset Beach to Pupukea on the North Shore. This picturesque route takes about 50 minutes and offers stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and the rugged coastline.
To get started, simply catch the shuttle from Waikiki to Sunset Beach with Wildlife Hawaii. Their shuttle leaves at 7:30am and arrives at Sunset Beach around 9:30am, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the walk before the midday heat sets in. Wildlife Hawaii is a reliable and professional company that offers comfortable shuttle services and friendly drivers who are knowledgeable about the area.
Once you arrive at Sunset Beach, begin your walk by heading east along the beach. This stretch of coastline is famous for its world-class surf breaks, so be sure to stop and watch the surfers catching waves. Continue walking past the charming beach houses and lush vegetation until you reach the entrance to the Pupukea Marine Life Conservation District.
From here, you can explore the tide pools and watch for sea turtles and other marine life in the crystal-clear waters. The walking path continues along the coastline, offering breathtaking views of the ocean and the surrounding hillsides. Eventually, you’ll reach the Pupukea Beach Park, which is a great spot to relax and take in the scenery.
Overall, we highly recommend this walking tour for anyone who wants to experience the natural beauty of Oahu and enjoy a healthy, refreshing activity in the morning. With the convenience of Wildlife Hawaii’s shuttle service, it’s easy to get to the North Shore and start your adventure.
